Well the Founding Fathers were trying to devise a system where the least capable and most mentally damaged citizens could get their way through the sheer and indiscriminate application of weapons of mass-death, were they not?

I don’t know to what degree the mainstream press has covered it, but I’ve been getting lots of emails over the past few weeks (from the ADL and other Jewish organizations) warning communities about this Nazi-organized “Day of Hate” this weekend:
To everyone – and not just the Jewish community – stay safe this weekend!

I wonder if sentencing one of these numbnuts to service in the Russian Army constitutes cruel and unusual punishment…?

Abraham Lincoln’s speech at Coopers Union February 27, 1860 on the Southern demands to recognize slavery.
The question recurs…what will convince them? This, and this only: cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right. And this must be done thoroughly - done in acts as well as in words …Senator Douglas’ new sedition law must be enacted and enforced, suppressing all declarations that slavery is wrong…We must arrest and return their fugitive slaves with greedy pleasure. We must pull down our Free State constitutions. The whole atmosphere must be disinfected from all taint of opposition to slavery… Your purpose, then, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.
Substitute Slavery for White Supremacy (and the Civil Rights Act for Free State constitutions) and there is no change 160 years later.

At this point, we have to make sure the nation understands that these people are the minority, no matter how loud they shout and scream. They are 30% or less of the population. They do not get to control the narrative.
Until the rest of us begin pushing back, they will continue to believe in their dominance, but the more they are defeated, the more they insist they are winning. We have to ensure they continue to lose and lose big.

It IS true. Their hate, bigotry and neofascism are a Potemkin village in comparison.

“Surprise, surprise, surprise.”
— Gomer Pyle, 1962
From “The Star Spangled Banner” to the hamburger, the United States has a number of official national symbols. An Alabama congressman’s bill would add another: a national gun. Rep. Barry Moore visited a Troy gun shop on Tuesday to unveil legislation making the AR-15 the “National Gun of America.”
Fun Fact: George Anthony Devolder Santos supports this bill.
P.S. If you would like one of those tastefully stylish AR-15 lapel pins like real™ Rethugliklans wear, contact Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde at (202) 225-9893.

What dipshit or group of dipshits came up with a “National Day of Hate”? What kind of messaging is that? A part of me wants to believe that this is just an “own the libs” joke to somehow expose wokeness and stuff. The rational part of me is pretty sure that these folks are incapable of organizing that kind of sophisticated gotcha and genuinely believe that celebrating their brand of hate is somehow a righteous endeavor.

How I look at it is, synagogues are full on Saturdays. The whole thing is cycling around anti-Semitism. What a great idea to decide on this when the folks they’re trying to eliminate are in smaller confined spaces, like a synagogue? Fish in a barrel. Sadly, I wish I were kidding. That almost has to be the thought process behind this.

We could find and commemorate a National Tragic Event of the Year to go with the recognition of the National Weapon. What a way to celebrate commitment to our traditional values.

The God of the Old Testament and some traditional American religious beliefs would see the these events as an extension of His righteous authority.

Well, they’re upping the ante on Orwell’s dystopia. Those folks only got a “two minutes of hate”. It is interesting (read: appalling) to note that the object of their hate was “Emmanual Goldstein”. Demonstrating again that some things never seem to change.
